A one-of-a-kind conversation piece, this unique handbag has been handcrafted from an authentic vintage Ansco Shur-Flash box camera, blending nostalgic mid-century design with modern functionality. The original black leatherette exterior, textured silver front panel, classic “Ansco Shur-Flash” lens surround, and carrying strap have all been thoughtfully preserved, maintaining the camera’s unmistakable vintage charm.
The camera opens to reveal a surprisingly spacious interior, fully lined in vibrant royal purple satin. The original latch closure remains functional, while the structured camera body gives the purse its distinctive architectural shape. Originally manufactured in Binghamton, New York, the Ansco Shur-Flash was introduced as an easy-to-use 120 film camera, making photography more accessible to everyday families during the postwar boom. Today, its bold geometric design and mid-century styling make it just as eye-catching as a fashion accessory as it once was behind the lens! In great condition with minor wear from use over the years!
Measurements: Length 4.5”, Height 4.25”, Width 3.25”
All sales final: It is our mission to disclose all issues found, but all of our items are vintage - which means most of them have been worn or used and may have minor issues. In the event that we have overlooked an issue, it is not because we misrepresented the item, it is because the issue was not apparent enough to demand our attention. We can only apologize for our oversight and hope you can repair the issue, but we do not accept returns for items we have photographed & listed on our website.
